golang：所有goroutine完成后如何关闭频道？

Question

I would like to write a simple web scraper in Go by:

• get all href with a pattern from an URL
• extract some specific fields
• and write to a CSV file

Here's my code:

package main

import (
    "encoding/csv"
    "flag"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "os"
    "strings"
    "sync"
)

type Enterprise struct {
    name     string
    tax_code string
    group    string
    capital  string
}

var u, f string
var name, tax_code, group, capital string

func init() {
    flag.StringVar(&u, "u", "", "Which URL to download from")
    flag.StringVar(&f, "f", "", "Path to the csv file to write the output to")
}

func check(e error) {
    if e != nil {
        panic(e)
    }
}

func findHrefs(u string) map[string]string {
    resp, err := http.Get(u)
    check(err)

    doc, err := goquery.NewDocumentFromResponse(resp)
    check(err)

    e_hrefs := make(map[string]string)
    doc.Find("td div a").Each(func(_ int, s *goquery.Selection) {
        e_href, _ := s.Attr("href")
        if strings.HasPrefix(e_href, "/Thong-tin-doanh-nghiep") && s.Text() != "" {
            e_hrefs[e_href] = s.Text()
        }
    })
    return e_hrefs
}

func fetch(url string, name string, file *os.File, wg *sync.WaitGroup, c chan Enterprise) {
    defer wg.Done()

    log.Println("Fetching URL", url)
    resp, err := http.Get(url)
    check(err)

    doc, err := goquery.NewDocumentFromResponse(resp)
    check(err)
    e := new(Enterprise)
    doc.Find("td").Each(func(_ int, s *goquery.Selection) {
        if s.Text() == "Mã số thuế:" {
            e.tax_code = s.Next().Text()
        }
        if s.Text() == "Tên ngành cấp 2:" {
            e.group = s.Next().Text()
        }
        if s.Text() == "Sở hữu vốn:" {
            e.capital = s.Next().Text()
        }
    })
    w := csv.NewWriter(file)
    w.Write([]string{name, "'" + e.tax_code, e.group, e.capital})
    w.Flush()
    c <- *e
}

func getDoc(u, f string) {
    parsedUrl, err := url.Parse(u)
    check(err)

    file, err := os.Create(f)
    check(err)
    defer file.Close()

    var wg sync.WaitGroup
    c := make(chan Enterprise)

    e_hrefs := findHrefs(u)
    for e_href, name := range e_hrefs {
        wg.Add(1)
        go fetch(parsedUrl.Scheme+"://"+parsedUrl.Host+e_href, name, file, &wg, c)
    }
    wg.Wait()
}

func main() {
    flag.Parse()
    if u == "" || f == "" {
        fmt.Println("-u=<URL to download from> -f=<Path to the CSV file>")
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    getDoc(u, f)
}

The problem is channel was not closed after all goroutines are finished and I have to press <kbd>control</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> to get my shell prompt back:

2016/03/02 09:34:05 Fetching URL ...
2016/03/02 09:34:05 Fetching URL ...
2016/03/02 09:34:05 Fetching URL ...
^Csignal: interrupt

By reading this, I change the last line in getDoc func to something like:

go func() {
    wg.Wait()
    close(c)
}()

Now I can get my shell prompt back when running but the channel was closed before all goroutines are finished and nothing write to CSV file.

Where did I go wrong?

Answer 1

To me it doesn't look like you're reading from your channel, and because it is a synchronous channel (you never declared a length on it) it will block if it receives a value. So you need to be reading from your c by value <- c or your fetch function will just hang at c <- *e

This is causing your sync.WaitGroup to never wg.Done() which never decrements the counter, which never causes the wg.Wait() to stop blocking, which causes your close(c) to never get called
